It's nice to see someone is using RWHOIS. Back when I wrote the RWHOIS daemon for HE I spoke with Mark Kosters (one of the authors of RFC 2167). I wish I still had the emails because at the time he was shocked anyone would create software for something that no one really uses. I seem to recall him calling it a waste of time ;-)
That said... I'm seeing Level 3's RWHOIS down as well. And to be honest, they're probably not monitoring it.
